Measures reported by OSHvTenantTest |
In OpenStack, tenants (also known as projects) are created and managed using services executed by the OpenStack Controller. Each tenant/project is a logical container for resources and represents an isolated environment where users can create and manage their own instances (virtual machines), networks, storage volumes, and security groups. Administrators can set up quotas for each tenant in the cloud infrastructure. This enables multiple tenants/projects to use same cloud infrastructure without interfering with each other's permissions and resources.
This test monitors the tenants/projects managed by the target controller and reports the amount of local storage available to each tenant/project. In the process, this test also reveals the total memory and vCPUs utilization of each tenant. Using these metrics, administrators can identify the tenant/project that over-utilized the memory and CPU resources and initiate remedial actions to optimize resource utilization. This also enables administrators to allocate more resources to support operations on the tenant/project (if required) and plan for the resource requirements in future.
Outputs of the test: One set of results for each tenant
Descriptor: Tenant
